Transcript
Admiralty, Whitehall
My darling (I begin like this not because I find you expect it but because I want to). Am I [a] devil after what you said about Raymond, to behave like that, or dont you care. I cant take him at all seriously emotionally, neither his emotions nor mine are in the least touched.
Dont fail me on Friday. {1} I want you very much, and write me one line to say you still love me. Can you?
Love
Venetia
In the cold light of morning I’m full of shame at my gross vulgarity.

{1} Venetia had invited Montagu to join her at Alderley on Friday the 16th. She herself went there by train on the 14th. See H. H. Asquith: Letters to Venetia Stanley, pp. 539–40.
